WHAT WILL WE DO?
n common with most other e+ onn+muniiities throughout
the Province, the people
of Clinton and.district are
I
being asked to do Their little +part'in supporting the
chttario'British Flood Relief Campaign now in progress.
At the request of Hon. Russell T.'' Kelley, Ontario
Minister of Health, who is 'acting las general ,dhah•man of
the Campaign, Clinton and District Chamber of Commerce
has charge of the drive in this area, with Mayor A. J.
McMurray as general chairman, and four tither members
of the Oh-amber—Aid. Robert Y. Ha;ttin, Bert GThddo'n, J,
A. Sutter and Charles Johnson --as chairmen for the four
Wards of the town.
lit rias been arranged that the local campaign twill
continue during the coming week of May 12-17, inclusive,
with the house -oto -house collection" in :town taking place
on Wednesday afternoon' next, May 14. The Town Council
Chamber will be the main depot for correction and ,'sort-
ing, prior to shipment to London central depot.
The facts are set out briefly in an announcement
on Page Three, of this issue.
Let us not forget the tremendous personal sac-
rifices made by the 'Britiigh people during the past eight
years to ensure the v1 tory of democracy. During six
years of that .period, they famed 'and suffered The ravages
of war. For two years, Britain stood .alone and held the
enemy at bay. Her economic resources were all thrown
into the fight of democracy for survival. She won that
struggle, but came out of it impoverished by the mag-
nitude of her effort.
The end of 'the war did net see the end of suf-
fering and privation for the British people. They faced
courageously the struggle to rehabilitate their economic
condition. Having courageously tightened their belts and
endured reduced rations to fight this new battle, they
suffered one of the worst disasters in their history from
the forces of nature. An unprecedented winter, with re-
cord snowfalls, coupled with 'drastic shortages of fuel and
power, was followed by the most devastating flood con-
dition's the British people have ever known.
TRAINING OF NURSES IN COUNTY
Something constructive in ThisCounty of Huron is
coming out of the current dangerous shortage
of qualified nurses in the Province of Ontario.
Addressing representatives of the four hospitals situated
in the .County, at a meeting in Clinton Monday afternoon,
Hon. Russell T. Kenley, Minister of Health, stated that
there was a lack of 2,900 i nfrses in Ontario at the
present time, and that unless drastic steps were taken,
he could not see how the situation could improve very
much.
Mr. Kelley appealed for the support of everyone
in establishing his plan for the training of four nurses
annually in each of the four county hospitals—Wingham,
Goderich, Sea Forth and Clinton. The 'young ladies would
enter training With the same matriculation as others
seeking their Registered Nurses' diploma, would spend
the same period of training as in the larger hospitals,
and would graduate at the end of three years fully as
well qualified as nurses receiving their training in any
other hospital in the Province and with the degree of
R.N. They, too, would have the :advantages of. ;living in
their own communities while training, rather than being
put to the expense and inconvenience of going 'away to
the big cities—not to mention the .advantage of living in a
small town gas compared with a metropolitan centre.
Tihe least file residents of Huron County can do
in tihis emergency is to Send their wholehearted support
to the plan -announced by the Minister. A very practical
contribution would be to discuss the natter with their
young lady friends who happen to be matriculating from
the High Schools and Collegiate Institutes of the County
this year.. The nursing ,pro+fession is an honoured one,
and one that any girl .might feel proud to enter.
MOTHER'S DAY
unday, May 11 is "Mother's Day," a day 'set apart
for payihng well deserved tribute to our m'o'thers---
tiho.ste modest, ;self-sacrificing individuals who
mean so much to all of us and whom we soanethnes take
too much for granted. "Mother" will be the 'theme of
many a sermon in local and ,other .churches throughout
the ChniStian world this coming Sunday.
What is a family without a 'mother? Only those
who have suffered the pangs and heartburns of her loss
ere able to measure the depth oif the chasm which her
passing produces. The memory 'of a dear mother re-
mains throughout one's life and exercises a great in-
fluence on its darecthhii>.
Those of us wlro are fortunate enough to have
our mother still with us Should red'nemlber her in some
rammer on her "day of days." It does not require much
effort, but such an effort, no matter bow trivial it may
seem, is deeply *predated.. A gift, a 'card, or even a
kind word, may mean a great deal to her. Let her sons
and daughters whether et home or ,away-lbe thought -
full of her.

Money and
Exchange
by
R. J. Deaehrnan
I read not long ago the following
item, it turned up today in my file:
`Wow We have learned that
money is merely the equivalent
of goods, so if many people lack
food there must be something
Very wrong with the exchange,
the distribution of ,it. ,Prebabl;v
it would be easier to distribute
goods more evenly if every coup-
, try produced' all :it consumed".
There is a strangely mixed para-
graph. Money is not the equivalent
of goods. Money is .abundant in
China. It takes an armful of Chin-
ese money to buy a new pair of socks.
The trouble is that there is too much
money and too little goods, so what
weo need in the world is goods not
money.
Now why should goods be scarce?
The answer is very simple. The
warring nations produced goods val-
uecl at 'hundreds of millions of dollars
to use them in the destruction of
goods and factoeies and cities, and it
takes time to recover from six years
of 'destruction, it will take at Ieast
six years of construction.
The second sentence of ,the saline
statement is equally absurd. I have
seen apples growing in 'Saskatchew-
an but We easier to grow them in
Ontario, and let' Saskatchewan grow
wheat and sell it in Britain anduse
the money to buy apples in Ontario.
The sianplest way to obtain the things
we want is quite often, to produce
something else, then exchange, it for
the products we desire to obtain.
